Hi passengers!

Phew. It's been a while since our last update. Sorry about that, but we were having some difficult times and we were also kinda scared of getting back here. A year and a month ago we released our first game ever, The Fall of Lazarus, but it didn't work the way we were hoping. We kept trying to make it work, patching what we could and trying to get it to be visible for the audience but we couldn't. We ran out of money and health and all of it just crumbled. We saw it coming tho, and we tried to survive it the best way possible, and that's what we did.

We're fine now, but we can't keep working on it anymore, so there won't be more patches and fixes for it. We know the game still has some bugs and compatibility issues due to the lack of testing before releasing it but we couldn't afford a proper testing and QA company to do that job, so we're really sorry about that.

What we did is to write our story down. From the start to the end. With letters and numbers. Hits and mistakes. We wanted to tell our story because we think it can be useful for somebody and also because it was part of our healing process. We needed to put our shit together and sort it out for good. If you want to check it out, here you have:

We also wrote it in spanish here:

https://gamereport.es/esto-no-es-otro-postmortem/

So this will be probably our last update. Thank you so much to all the people who bought and played our game. Thank you so much to all the people who might buy and play it in the future. Please understand that our journey has been such a wonderful and cathartic experience but also a painful and terrifyfing one and we have to keep moving, heal our wounds and start over.

See you in another life, brothers!

Hi!

It's been a couple of months since we released our game The Fall of Lazarus. We started this project nearly two years ago and we wanted to update our game to the last version of Unreal Engine (currently 4.18) because we were having some issues working on a deprecated version of the engine and we took advantage of this situation and implemented some fixes based on all your feedback.

So today we're excited to announce our biggest update to date: Version 2.0 — /Rebuild_ available right now!

• Updated to Unreal Engine 4.18 (last version available)
  
• Full lighting rework
  
• Improved level streaming
  
• Improved loading times
  
• Highly reduced space disk required
  
• New resolutions supported: 2560x1440/3200x1800
  
• New Chapter selection mode
  
• Added confirmation requirement before starting a new game
  
• Added new assets and art pieces
  
• Minor changes in some in-game videos
  
• Polished some textures
  
• Minor fixes
  
• Updated Studio branding

The most relevant addition are the Chapter mode. Now you can play the game from several checkpoints along the story in case there is a problem with your savegame or something happens!

We will keep working on bug fixing so if you run across some issue please report it to us and we'll check it out!

Thank you for playing and providing feedback. If you want to help us a little bit more here are some things that will help us a lot:

• Post a review on the store page: Steam is massive and a new game developed by a newbie team is a drop in the ocean. The more reviews we get, the more information players thinking of trying the game have to hand.
  
• Tell a friend: Yeah. If you know somebody who would like the game, telling them about it is awesome!
  
• Talk about the game on social media.

It's been an awesome and difficult launch but we are really proud of what we achieved so far. Hope you like it and stay tuned for news on our next project! Thanks for being a part of our journey.

Cheers!

Hi everybody!

Thank you so much for your patience. We know we said we wanted to release it on september but we want to give you the best game we can possibly accomplish. Also its a better week for launching in marketing terms due to the lack of big indie releases that week so, we thought we could push back the date a little bit. We are working hard on polishing the game and debugging the whole experience.

We hope you're doing okay and you have had a great summer. Spread the word on your social media if you like. We're almost there!

Cheers, space travelers!

Hi guys!

It has been a rough month and we've been busy but we have some good news we wanted to tell you so here we go.

First of all, we've been working our assess off on getting The Fall of Lazarus: The First Passenger (our prologue demo) on Steam and today just went live! We thought it would be a great idea to implement all the work and enhacements we've been developing for the full game in the demo because we wanted to upload it to Steam. We were also at an indie event here in Zaragoza and we thought it was the perfect timing for polishing it.


And here it is! The First Passenger 2.0, almost brand new. Here you have a list with all the changes we've made so far:

• Full texture rework.
  
• New sound and music by Sonotrigger: this is a big deal. We've implemented all the work our friends from Sonotrigger have been doing for the final release and you can hear a glimpse of the final sound design and music!
  
• New Hybris voice effect by Sonotrigger.
  
• Terminal interfaces rework.
  
• New lightning system.
  
• Gameplay improvements: Action for open/close doors now use an improved physics system. Now you can interact with items. The important items are stored in the Mnem/0z1n3 tool. Added sprint.
  
• New assets: now we've started filling the spaceship with objects. There are a little few in the demo but check out the exteriors of the USSC Lazarus!

All this improvements are more representative of the final game and we wanted our demo to look as great as possible for the Steam release.

Thank you all, cheers!
